LMS Security in the Brightspace Platform

Access & Authentication

The Brightspace platform supports Single Sign On (SSO) and integration with various authentication solutions including Active Directory, LDAP, Kerberos, CAS and SAML/Shibboleth.

Secure Transmission

Client connection to the Brightspace platform is via TLS cryptographic protocols with RSA encryption, so client data is transferred securely.

Application Security

Code for the Brightspace application is developed and tested following principles set out in the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten framework to help ensure Brightspace is a secure platform.

Backup and Recovery

System and client data are backed up on a regular basis using asynchronous encrypted data transfer to offsite storage to ensure that client services can be restored quickly in the event of a disaster.
